NOT long now until Rangers kick off a league match at Hampden for the first time – with Philippe Clement giving new boys Robin Propper and Vaclav Cerny their first starts.
After a summer of confusion over the Copland Road construction and suppliers’ steel delivery delays, Gers struck a deal to stay at the National Stadium – at least until the end of next month.
It’s vital to their chances of achieving their goals this season that Hampden becomes a home from home – but Motherwell (ironically named the Steelmen) who will test that to the full this season.
Stuart Kettlewell has EIGHT players out or doubtful for the big game – but he’s boosted by the fact teenage prodigy Lennon Miller STARTS the big match.
